  2. Surgery, PT and Rehab, and Preventive Care Are the Top Three Digital Health Uses: Surgery, physical therapy, rehab, and preventive care remain key areas.
  3. Patient Burnout will Continue- Digital Engagement Strategy Can Help: Addressing patient burnout requires a nuanced approach tailored to individual needs and systemic challenges.
  4. More Holistic Reporting of Digital Health Solutions: Integrated ecosystems and connected data empower value-based care.
  5. Higher Utilization of Chronic Care Services: Increased emphasis on digital solutions for chronic conditions.
  6. Leveraging Digital Health to Close Care Gaps: Digital tools to improve access, especially in remote areas.
  7. Shut Up and Give Me All Your Preventive Services: Health systems providing preventive services can improve patient health and improve cost containment.
  8. EHRs Can’t Carry the Digital Health Burden Alone: EHRs are not built to do everything and there are better digital health solutions available to improve patient experience and outcomes.

“With staffing shortages and burnout, new competition and complexities around reimbursement, hospitals are being challenged like never before,” said Mike McSherry, CEO and co-founder of Xealth. “Digital health brings an opportunity for health systems to do more with less, extending care teams and keeping people connected with their providers. Xealth works with health systems that understood early on the value of strategically rolling out digital programs, and they now hold a competitive advantage.”
